***
Fingers running through
Countless blades of green grass.
They are taller now.
***
How quickly a space can
change. Eyes closed, I don’t see–
I hear ghosts in the quiet.
***
Lazy Sunday night
Sprained knee from a vicious fight
Still the moon shines bright
***
Orange as a flame
Moon bleeds over all the leaves:
Is it night or day?
